Set up a database with a table that has columns for a unique ID, the url and a click count.
Create a script in ASP that captures a query string parameter (id) then interrogates the database table, finds the matching id, increments the counter and redirects the user to the url.
In your pages change the links to the script's url with the appropriate parameter for that song and set the target to blank (or if you are working to XHTML standards use javascript) to open the url in a new window.
That's the method. As for how to implement it you will need to ask in the appropriate forums. But it's always good to sit down and work out a method first so you know what you need to do.
